Specified by:
getLocalSlotNumber in interface Binding
Returns:
the slot number on the local stack frame

evaluateVariable

public ValueRepresentation evaluateVariable(XPathContext context)
                                     throws XPathException

Overrides:
promote in class Expression
Parameters:

Throws:
XPathException - if any error is detected

suppressValidation

public void suppressValidation(int validationMode)

extendBindingList

protected Binding[] extendBindingList(Binding[] in)
Extend an array of variable bindings to include the binding(s) defined in this expression

Parameters:
in - a set of variable bindings
Returns:
a set of variable bindings including all those supplied plus this one

promoteWhereClause

protected Expression promoteWhereClause(Binding positionBinding)
Promote a WHERE clause whose condition doesn't depend on the variable being bound. This rewrites an expression of the form

let $i := SEQ return if (C) then R else ()

to the form:

if (C) then (let $i := SEQ return R) else ()

Parameters:
positionBinding - the binding of the position variable if any
Returns:

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()
Get the immediate subexpressions of this expression

Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions in class Expression

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)
Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:
addToPathMap in class Expression
Parameters:
pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added
Returns:
the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

getVariableName

public String getVariableName()
Get the display name of the range variable, for diagnostics only

Returns:
the lexical QName of the range variable

refineTypeInformation

public void refineTypeInformation(ItemType type,
                                  int cardinality,
                                  Value constantValue,
                                  int properties,
                                  ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                  Assignation currentExpression)
Refine the type information associated with this variable declaration. This is useful when the type of the variable has not been explicitly declared (which is common); the variable then takes a static type based on the type of the expression to which it is bound. The effect of this call is to update the static expression type for all references to this variable.

Parameters:
type - the inferred item type of the expression to which the variable is bound
cardinality - the inferred cardinality of the expression to which the variable is bound
constantValue - the constant value to which the variable is bound (null if there is no constant value)
properties - other static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound
visitor - an expression visitor to provide context information
currentExpression - the expression that binds the variable
